The Practice of Resilience Building in Urban and Regional Communities

Abstract

Resilience building goes beyond the traditional notion of bouncing back, despite being perceived as a mechanism of recovery. It responds to vulnerability caused by structural injustices, economies of growth and political agendas, by creating conditions of adaptation related to present and forthcoming risks. Instead of placing the burden of rebuilding on the individual, resilience building focuses on a systemic preparation to adapt, which entails a careful evaluation of local, regional, and global conditions. These are examined by taking into consideration the environmental, geopolitical, and socioeconomic parameters that shape them.
